• Edition 5 • April 2011 Spring Has Finally Sprung and We Have an Abundance of Exciting Things Planned for This Year at TBYC! www.tbyc.org • Edition 5 • April 2011 Spring has finally sprung and we have an abundance of exciting things planned for this year at TBYC! Firstly the Summer Glitter Ball on June 4th has had a huge response, and 170 of you have bought tickets - making it a massive sellout event! So ladies and gentlemen, have your sequins, diamonds and sparkles at the ready for what is guaranteed to be a fantastic night. April will be a busy month, not only for TBYC but also London, with the Royal Wedding on April 29th. We are planning a big Royal Wedding Party on that night with a red, white and blue “Back To The 80's” theme, so don't miss out on one of the biggest parties of the year! Not forgetting the Easter weekend hog roast on Sunday April 24th. Keep your eyes peeled for tickets and ticket discounts for those who buy them for both events. These will be on posters around the club and on the website. Let us know if you have been to any great events elsewhere and would like to see them at TBYC, whether it be a casino night, a cocktail party or beer tasting. Let us know - we would love to have your great ideas! Finally, we are going to start offering a combined ticket booking discount for certain events, like the hog roast and Royal Wedding party, and people who attend the Christmas party will receive a discount on tickets for New Year’s Eve. We hope this will encourage more ticket buying and bookings! Kylie Hello, I would like to introduce myself to you. I am Gary Watty and have been given the wonderful opportunity to take on the kitchen franchise duties at your Yacht Club. APR OCT 24 28 Purple Chilli Catering has been in business for just Saturday Friday over three years supplying buffets, canapés, celebratory meals and dinner parties. I personally APR NOV have over twenty years catering experience as a chef, 29 12 and would be pleased to cater for you in any format. Friday Saturday I am married with three children aged 7,5 and 2 and JUN NOV live locally in Great Wakering. 4 19 Saturday Saturday It would be great if you could come down and try the SEP DEC food, and I am sure you will not be disappointed. 24 10 The menu will stay with all the favourite dishes plus Saturday Saturday daily specials and seasonal meals. OCT DEC 8 31 I am looking forward to meeting you all! Saturday Saturday 22 Many thanks to all those who turned up on the various work parties and gave up your time to enhance our facilities. There is nothing like the passion to get the job done by an army of volunteers. Special thanks to Graham Dare, who virtually painted the committee boat on his own. You may have seen the works have started for the new lift and stairs. This new addition will enhance our club and make the bar more accessible to all. A big thank you to Nick Elmore, Mark Dell and Dominic Speller for their expert advice, time and dedication in bringing this project to reality. Going forward this year, I am looking to put a house committee together and invite those of you that would like to help to give me a call to find out more. We are so lucky to have such a vast range of members from many trades whose knowledge, tools and know-how really makes a difference to our club. Barry Duce, House Rep 33 The Very Beginning of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club Terry Wheeler During the Second World War, my school, Eton House, was evacuated to Banbury in Oxfordshire, so I became a boarder while my parents rented a bungalow at Bourne End, on the Thames in Buckinghamshire. After the war, my school returned to the Borough in 1945 and the early intake of new boys included Kit Hobday. As I was School Captain at the time, it was not unnatural for a degree of rivalry to emerge between us. Pat Linnel (nee Wetton) makes the point in her excellent notes on the origin of the Club that Kit's father and his wife, Pearl, provided a meeting place for us for far too long. Hence the concrete Bosun's Hut was purchased and built. But that was not the beginning: it was on the beach that it all began. If you go down the steps opposite St Augustine's Road to the beach, about eleven beach huts from the end there was one called Ben Hilton, which was owned by my parents. A L-R: Brian Pennington, Terry Wheeler, Audrey Christmas, further five huts along was the Hobday hut and Margaret Taylor (now Porter), Mary Jeffries (?), Fred Harries that is where it all started. Kit ordered a hard chine dinghy from Johnson and Jago which the regular stalwarts included Fred When I returned from National Service was called Texacana: his brother, Terence, had Harries, which was most fortunate as he in early 1953, the following events took a largish dinghy with an outboard motor: and I lived in Thorpe Bay Gardens whereas I place. C.J.Moorhouse, David Cotgrove, had an eight foot dinghy with a bright red lived literally miles away, north of the Fred Harries and myself, and I think, Ron mainsail. This was later replaced by a pre-war railway line. Also, Pat Linnel, who was a Weedon, fastened large baulks of German sixteen foot quarter decked sailing real tom-boy and kept up with us all; timber on top of the rainwater outlet, machine, which had two disadvantages. Firstly, the beautiful Margaret Taylor, whose using an explosive hammer, which fired it leaked like a sieve, hence the fact that the blonde hair would have made Marilyn bolts through the wood and far enough name of Warihiki became Warileaky and Munroe envious; Mary Stewart, a choir into the concrete, to make a slipway. secondly, it was slower than Texacana. girl from St. Augustines Church with a Naturally, we spaced the wood with beautiful voice; Grant Jones, Brian one and a half to two inch gaps to stop Kit's 'gang' included Barry Belton, who was Pennington and John Cotgrove, who the waves forcing up the wood.

We were all same time C.J.Moorhouse was digging lad called Williams whose father either owned, constantly lectured by Kit; who was the foundation trenches for the current or was, Chairman of the Kursaal. He was also always talking about forming a yacht club house with a dinkum digger which artistically inclined and designed the flag for club, and when he came back from belonged to the Kursaal.

But some of Margaret Taylor (now Porter) remembers the first Thorpe Bay Regatta. In a real mixture of craft, that is before several of the first members had the same boat (The Jewel), they had no life jackets, no rescue boat and no buoyancy in their boats, but they were all white at Phil's request. 44 Alan Butler, founding editor of Newsbuoy, writes: As the founding editor of the TBYC newsletter "Newsbuoy", may I congratulate all concerned on the new colour magazine. The newsletter has come a very long way from its origins in 1961 when a four page foolscap paper produced on a Roneo machine, with my wife typing the skins, was mailed to 600/700 members. Members might be interested to learn how the magazine got its name. As editor, I announced a readers' competition. Unfortunately, as most editors of such publications will understand nobody answered or entered, so the editor’s choice became the name which lasted for over 40 years.

  • Moderate-Cost Approaches for Hydrodynamic Testing of High Performance Sailing Vessels
    MODERATE-COST APPROACHES FOR HYDRODYNAMIC TESTING OF HIGH PERFORMANCE SAILING VESSELS A. H. Day University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland [email protected] P. Cameron University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland E. Nixon University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland This study examines the relative merits of physical testing techniques which may be used in early stage design for assessment of the resistance of high-performance sailing vessels. The hull chosen as a benchmark form is a high-speed hard-chine sailing dinghy. The hull proportions and shape are typical of modern trends in skiff design, but may also be considered to be broadly similar to some high performance yacht hulls. The 4.55m hull was tested at full scale in a moderate size towing tank, at 1:2.5 scale in the same tank, and at full-scale by towing on open water. Results show the mean discrepancy in the measured resistance between the open water towing and the full-scale tank test is around 4%. The challenges of full-scale open-water testing are discussed and several improvements identified for future work. Comparison of the full-scale results suggests that blockage and depth correction for the full-scale hull in the tank do not present a substantial problem for subcritical speeds. Larger discrepancies were found between resistance from the model scale and the full scale tank tests at higher speeds; it was speculated that these discrepancies relate to the differences in the detailed geometry of the model and full-scale boat, particularly in the region of the chines. 1 INTRODUCTION hull form is typical of a modern skiff form with an overall length of 4.55m, a single chine, and relatively flat Large-scale tank testing at high speeds inevitably sections between the keel and chine and between the requires the use of a large, and hence costly, towing tank, chine and deck edge.

  • Cadet Dinghy
    Cadet Dinghy “Viking” Appendix 2 THE CADET SQUADRON In the early 1930's, Cadet Members of the R.G.Y.C. competed in a conglomeration of small craft. Ern Armstrong recalls that when he joined the club in 1933, the cadet section was comprised of the 12 foot cadets, "Firey Cross", owned and sailed by John Boocock, on which Ern sailed for the last three races of the season and "Viking", owned by Tal and Jim Searle, "Tasma", a flat-bottomed ,low wooded hull approximately 14feet long, owned by the Club, "Teddy bear", a half-decked rather heavy boat owned by Geoff Wood, and "Westra", a semi-decked 12 foot cadet, owned by the McAllisters. At that time the boat storage shed was approximately 40 feet by 30 feet fronting the roadway outside the club opposite Transvaal Square, about in line with the eastern end of the present Junior Squadron clubhouse. In about 1935, two 14 foot boats were added to the fleet. These were "Mulluka", owned by Chick Fleet Snr., and sailed by Jim Ritchie and "NV", a 14footer with narrow beam and a high aspect mainsail built and skippered by Norm Wray. And two more 12 foot cadet dinghies were also added to the fleet, "Caress", built and skippered by Bob Curnow and "Dolphin ", owned and skippered by Wally Wiggs. About this time the Cadet section acquired half of the Sea Scout's shed owned by Mr. Ev Hurst, now the tender dinghy storage shed. This move avoided the long lift from the original shed on the roadway.

  • MSCA Annual Survey 2019
    2020 MSCA Annual Survey Report International Musto Skiff Class Association ABOUT THE MUSTO SKIFF CLASS The Musto Skiff Class Association (MSCA) The Musto Skiff is a high-performance single-handed trapeze dinghy that is great fun to sail with a large community of sailors representing over 28 countries. The Musto Skiff Class Association (MSCA) is run by the members for the members. As a World Sailing International Class, the MSCA hosts annual World Championships in addition to supporting local class associations who host National Regattas, Open Meetings and training events throughout the year. The class benefits from long-term partnerships with international sponsors and partners including Musto, Ovington Boats Ltd, Harken, Hyde Sails, Selden Masts, and ACO Ltd. www.mustoskiff.com Photo credit: Bernardi Bibiloni Bigas, 2017 (www.bernardibibiloni.com) ABOUT THIS SURVEY The Survey Purpose The 2020 MSCA Annual Survey is created by the Musto Skiff Class Association (MSCA) International Committee, in partnership with the class boat builder and partner, Ovington Boats Ltd. The purpose of the survey is to gather feedback from class members and the wider sailing community on all Musto Skiff activities. This includes feedback on the boat experience, training, organised events, class marketing activities, sponsors and more. In each survey, MSCA members also have the opportunity to vote for International Committee Members and Country Representatives, as well as voting on proposed ideas for the future growth and longevity of the class. The feedback is used to ensure the successful planning and delivery of future events. It also helps the International Committee to understand what members want from the class association, and how the class can position itself to attract new and talented sailors.
